Day To Date by Raquel Welch: Vintage Glamour Meets Modern Versatility

If you've ever wanted to channel the magnetic allure of a 1940s film siren without sacrificing everyday comfort, the Day To Date by Raquel Welch was made for you. This stunning long wig features voluminous 'S' curls and cascading layers that move effortlessly from polished daytime looks to showstopping evening glamour — all with a single style. Please note: Day To Date is a discontinued style, so stock is limited. Grab yours while it's still available.

Design & Inspiration

Inspired by classic Hollywood elegance, the Day To Date delivers a timelessly chic silhouette with rich, voluptuous curls and layered length. Pin it up for a refined daytime look or let the curls fall free for full vintage drama at night. The design is both versatile and theatrical — a rare combination that makes it a standout addition to any wig wardrobe.

Cap Construction

The Day To Date is built with a thoughtfully engineered cap that prioritizes both realism and all-day comfort:

  • Temple-to-Temple Lace Front: Creates a seamless, natural-looking hairline across the full width of the forehead.
  • Extended Monofilament Part to the Crown: Mimics the appearance of a real scalp along the part, allowing for versatile parting options and a convincingly natural finish.
  • Memory Cap® II: Raquel Welch's signature cap technology gently conforms to your unique head shape for a secure, comfortable fit without rigid clips.
  • Soft Velvet-Lined Ear Tabs: Eliminate irritation along the temples for extended wear.
  • Extended Nape: Provides additional coverage and stability at the back of the head.

The cap is sized for an average fit. If you're unsure about sizing, visit our Wig Size Chart by Brand before ordering.

Fiber & Styling

The Day To Date is crafted with Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, meaning you can use flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers to personalize your style. Want looser, beachy waves? Reach for a flat iron. Prefer full-volume vintage curls? A curling wand will enhance what's already there. Always begin with a low heat setting to protect the fiber's integrity.

The Day To Date is also a strong option for women experiencing hair loss or thinning. The temple-to-temple lace front creates an undetectable hairline, the extended monofilament part mimics a natural scalp at the crown, and the Memory Cap® II offers a gentle, secure hold without clips that could stress fragile hair.

Care & Maintenance

To keep your Day To Date looking its best:

  • Wash every 10–15 wears, or sooner if product buildup occurs.
  • Use a sulfate-free wig shampoo and cool water; gently detangle before rinsing.
  • Apply wig conditioner to the lengths only, avoiding the cap base.
  • Air dry on a wig stand to preserve the curl pattern and cap shape.
  • Store on a wig stand when not in use to maintain structure.

With proper care, the Day To Date typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear or 9–12 months with occasional use. Because this is a discontinued style, consider ordering a backup while stock remains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use heat tools on the Day To Date by Raquel Welch?

Yes. The Day To Date is made with Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic fiber, so flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers are all safe to use. This gives you the freedom to loosen the 'S' curls into softer waves or amplify them for full vintage drama. Always start on a low heat setting to protect the fiber and preserve the style long-term.

Is the Day To Date by Raquel Welch a good wig for hair loss?

Yes. The temple-to-temple lace front creates a natural, undetectable hairline, while the extended monofilament part realistically mimics scalp at the crown. The Memory Cap® II conforms gently to your head shape without relying on clips that could stress fragile or thinning hair, making this a confident and comfortable choice for medical hair-loss needs.

How long does the Day To Date by Raquel Welch last?

With regular care, the Day To Date typically lasts 4–6 months with daily wear or 9–12 months with occasional use. Since this is a discontinued style, it's worth purchasing a backup while it remains in stock. Washing every 10–15 wears and storing on a wig stand will maximize the lifespan of the style.

What cap size is the Day To Date, and will it fit me?

The Day To Date fits an average cap size. Raquel Welch's Memory Cap® II technology helps the cap conform gently to your individual head shape for a snug, comfortable hold. If you're between sizes or new to wigs, use our Wig Size Chart by Brand to confirm the best fit before ordering.

Why is the Day To Date by Raquel Welch discontinued, and should I buy it now?
